Chapter 51: See the Demon Again
Yae Sakura sat obediently on the side, not asking her brother why he was able to collect items out of thin air, but his water-shearing eyes kept shining.
【Yae Village's specialty rice ball】
There is also a '6' in the bottom right corner of the purple icon.
Yaeji didn't bother anymore and opened another black backpack with clothes.
Sakura's alternate shrine maiden costume, Rin's kimono, his haori, and...... His shrine maiden costume?
Yae Ji twitched the corner of his eye, in those days when he prayed to the gods, he did wear an alternate shrine maiden costume for activities. Yae Ji also has to admit that from a certain point of view, the shrine maiden suit is lighter, and it will be more convenient in battle, and the movements made by the body can be adapted to the shrine maiden suit.
It's just that those two white stockings are very uncomfortable, and Yaeki still maintains a high opinion about wearing stockings in summer.
The palm of the hand rests on the neatly folded clothes, and it disappears in an instant!
Yae Ji was slightly startled, he had thought that these clothes would be judged by the backpack as worthless.
But I didn't expect it......
【Trumpet Alternate Miko Costume】
Description: The tradition of Yae Shrine, the costume worn by each generation of shrine maidens. The armpit design is far from the current concept, and it is highly praised by five stars.
(Legend has it that when everyone in the Yae clan was young, they wore alternate shrine maiden costumes.) )
Yaeki fell silent, he really couldn't imagine what his father would have been wearing this costume in when he was a child. However, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and threw away the white stockings, he was not too resistant to the shrine maiden costume now.
Of course, if it's winter, he can still consider adding stockings, after all, the thing still looks a little warm.
【Rin's Kimono】
【Haori of Ji】
【Ji's Shrine Maiden Costume】
......
Yae Ji, who had taken care of everything, turned half of his body to look at Yae Sakura empty-handed, "You're not curious?" ”
Sakura blinked her blue spiritual eyes, "I will always trust my brother." ”
"Okay, let's go rest, we'll go to Ayutthaya early tomorrow morning."
"Hmm!"
The next day, Yaeki got up early in the morning.
After worshipping the gods again, Yae Ji went to his father's room.
As if he had known that he was leaving today, the Yae Shinjo sat in front of the door early in the morning and waited.
The father and son didn't communicate much.
Yaeki was only taught by his mother to say goodbye to his father.
After saying a sentence or two, Yae Ji turned his head and left.
"Do you have enough money?"
The Yae Divine Lord behind him spoke in a slightly hurried tone.
"Enough to bring."
"Well, it's a safe journey."
Yae Ji pursed her lips, and finally didn't say anything, and the figure quickly disappeared around the corner.
The Yae Shinjo sat in silence for a while, and then returned to the back room.
On the deepest wall, scarred shrine maiden costumes are propped up against the wall.
The Yae Divine Lord put his hand on the corner of his skirt, and his movements were extremely gentle, for fear that he would damage his clothes.
"Am I really doing something wrong?"
The clothes are not human, and they don't have the spirituality of Sakurabukiyuki, so they can't answer the questions of the Yae Divine Lord.
The figure was slightly rickety, and there was a wind blowing outside, and the Yae God Lord suddenly became a lot older.
"I don't know if you met Ling in the Abyss, it won't be a few years...... I'll go find you both......"
......
Rugged mountain roads.
"Rin, is there anything wrong with your body?"
"Nope."
"That's good."
Yaeji's eyes were resolute, and the well-textured strap easily withstood Rin's weight.
Rin was attached to him back to back, two slender legs passing through the base of the harness, swaying back and forth with Yaeji's forward steps.
Yae Sakura followed closely behind her brother, and from her point of view, she could make eye contact with her sister as long as she looked up.
Seeing Rin's recovering complexion, the smile on Yae Sakura's little face became more and more.
Similar clothes, food, etc., were all put into the backpack by Yae Ji, except for a Rin hanging on his body, the three of them were quite relaxed.
Yae Ji carried a knife around her waist, Sakura did the same, and other than that, there were no other items.
Yae Ji and Yae Sakura's physical strength is good, but Rin is worried that her brother will not be able to bear it with her "back", and from time to time she wants her brother to rest for a while.
Yae Village is surrounded by mountains and is located in the middle of nowhere, so even if you go out of the mountains, you will not set foot on the official roads of Shinano Province.
In addition to building a few fairly smooth roads from the castle gate to the wilderness, forests, and lakes, Yaeki maintained a deep suspicion that there were official roads in other parts of Shinano Province.
However, he himself did not have any sense of belonging to Shinano Province, and the history of Yae Village's existence was even older than that of Shinano Province.
Crossing the mountain, at the foot of the other side of the mountain, Yae Ji put Rin down to rest, and by the way, helped her move her muscles and veins to promote the flow of blood.
Even if Yae Ji has good physical strength, his age is there after all, and the physical strength consumed to climb over a mountain with a person on his back is not small.
After drinking water and eating, Yae Ji picked up Rin again and walked in the direction of Oshiro.
Sakura and Rin are like two little sparrows, chirping all the way, maintaining a high interest in Oshiro.
If it had been before, even if he had been to Yaeji in the big city when he was a child, he would still have a sense of anticipation there, but since he saw the big city of another world in his dream, Yaeji was deeply shocked.
The nearest big city outside Yae Village is one in the sky and one in the ground compared to them! It is not an exaggeration to say that the fireflies compete with the bright moon.
The only thing that can make Yae Ji look forward to when he goes to Ayutthaya is the doctor who can treat Yae Rin.
Sakura and Rin are free from the shackles of Yae Village for the first time, and they are as happy as two little fairies, and they can't have enough fun.
Sakura, in particular, maintained a state of excitement all the way, Yae Ji was tired and panting, and Yae Sakura still didn't react at all.
Separated from the mountains, there are fewer and fewer shade places, but fortunately, the rain is continuous these days, and the weather is not as hot as before, and it is much better to move forward against the sun.
Yae Ji took out a straw hat from his backpack and put them all on top of his head.
It didn't take long for the dead forest to usher in the front again, but after being watered by the rain, some of the dead trees have already grown new shoots, and the green light is enough to make people feel pleasing to the eye.
Yaeki stopped and took a breath.
He looked back at the dry land between the two places, and in fact, there was more than that, and according to Yae Shrine, Yae Village was located in a mountain nest surrounded by mountains with green trees.
And out of the mountain, there is a land where no grass grows, and the mountain range that surrounds Yae Village is tightly encircled.
No one knows why.
Yae Ji just glanced at it curiously, took out the water from his backpack, took a sip, and continued to walk towards the big city with the two little girls.
In less than ten minutes, Yae Ji stopped again.
Yae Sakura, who was following behind, also stopped and asked, "Brother, shall we rest for a while?" ”
Yae Ji waved his hand back, his expression was serious, and he didn't make a sound.
Yae Sakura immediately became vigilant, holding the scabbard with her left hand and clenching the hilt with her right hand.
"Knock knock~"
It is very similar to the sound of Yaeji encountering a group of demons galloping in the canyon before.
Yae Ji frowned, and he seemed to hear the roar of a human again.
Looking into the distance, the dead trees blocked his view.
"Sakura, let's go from the other side."
